The ability to create custom toolbars of any size or orientation, and position them on the screen in a way that best fits the workflow was a brilliant feature that was killed by the ribbon. If Microsoft won't bring back custom toolbars, then at the very least the ribbon should be customizable.

The options for border have various combinations, including 'all border' and 'only outside borders'. But it does not include options for inside a grid of cells such as 'inner vertical lines', 'inner horizontal lines' and 'only inside borders'.

Please add these variations as they critical to format files with multiple rows and columns. On the PC version, these are available under the 'more borders' option but the same is not present in the mobile version. Kindly add this functionality.

That I know of, there's no way to create a graph and then edit the data series afterwards. Clearly there are multiple data series created in some charts but I don't see a way to view / edit them without a lot of tedious dragging control handles around in the spreadsheet. It would be so much better to be able to have a dialog box pop up and hand edit the data series.

The new iPad Pro uses a slightly larger keyboard and I’ve noticed that there is a bug when you swap from ABC to 123 on the keyboard (the abc...123 google button on the bottom right)

If you tap on it, it will change your keyboard to a more numeric centric one.

However, the ABC...123 button from that point is now hidden by the keyboard itself; this is because the program appears to code to have that frame follow the keyboard if the user moves the touch keyboard.

Since the IPad Pro has a larger keyboard than most IOS devices, the keyboard is actually overlaying on top of that option. Making it impossible to swap back to ABC mode, unless you force quit.

It appears to work fine in ABC mode, but when swapping to 123 mode is when the issue occurs.

Please add the feature to Excel for Android. This is the ability to create custom number (cell) format as it is in Windows. I need numbers to add units of quantity. Pre-defined is only currency unit on Android. I am adding "m²", "kg" and the like. Thank you.

The newest version release July 10, 2017 has major user issues.
First I was experiencing saving errors at random times. The ipads have internet on them and I figure it was because it lost communication to server it gave a error message of conflicted copy of workbook and need to save copy to continue. That still is a issue.

Second: Cant hide tabs in workbook after July 10, 2017 update. When I attempt to hide tabs within a workbook the app freezes for about a minute then closes down. Once I reopen the app then it opens but any data that wasnt saved is deleted. Now currently yesterday it froze and wouldnt even open back up. Left it alone till today deleted the app redownloaded it and now I have the version from July 9, 2017 version and everything works but it wants to update to the current verision that has issues but i disabled the automatic updates and downloads.
Third: App sometimes doesnt allow the workbook to be emailed as a PDF and doesnt even let it get printed it sayd conflicted and currupt.

The app is great and works awesome and will continue using now that I have the July 9, version but looking foward to a newer working version.

Currently the only way to see the equation and r-squared value for a linear trendline is to use a quick layout. If you do that, you can not hide either the equation or the R-squared, and more importantly, you can not move it around on the chart so that it doesn't overlap other elements. Also, I'd prefer to see enabling the equation and R-squared as part of the Elements option as opposed to that being kind of hidden under layouts.

When opening and scrolling a excel sheet, it automatically goes into full screen mode. Can you provide an options as in Windows phone to hide/unhide the worksheet from going full screen when scrolling the data in a sheet.
